Steven Spieth’s 3-pointer put Brown (11-12, 2-5) up 56-48 with 11:12 to play, but Chambers scored six points while Bassey and Aiken each hit a 3 during an 18-1 run over the next 4½ minutes to take the lead for good. The Bears missed 5 of 6 free throws - including the front ends of three one-and-ones - and all four field-goal attempts during that span.

Six consecutive Bears points cut the deficit to 66-63 with six minutes left, but a 12-3 spurt, capped by Aiken’s 3-point play with 2:27 to go, made it 78-66.

Spieth had 21 points and Tavon Blackmon added 14 with six assists for Brown, which was 18 of 29 from the foul line.

Harvard shot 55 percent and made 20 of 21 free throws in the second half.
